Otto Von Blotto Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Why not just turn the alarm off? I've got mine set to 100 and -40. The beer temperature never goes anywhere it shouldn't anyway. Edited February 23, 2022 by Otto Von Blotto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I’ve got 2 x wifi inkbirds, work like a charm whilst away with fifo work. I do the same as @Otto Von Blottowith the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same as @Otto Von Blottowith the settings. i have no quarrels with the inkbird till now if you have the temp set at 2°c what ever you set at the high temp and low temp that could be your 100°c and -40°c or like i had it set to 4°c and 0.0°c and it the hysteresis temp for high and cold at 0.3°c. and when the temp hits either 2.3°c it will kick the cooling cycle back on and when it gets to the low end it should kick the heat in which would have been 1.7°c so why would the temp alarm go on @ 2.0°c this what i am not understanding. i totally get ovb and yourself @Red devil 44 as the 100°c and the -40° are set at defualt for the high and low what these temps are as long as they are not with in the hysteresis temps are othise the temp alarm will come on. i also have 2 inkbirds that are wifi and up until this brew the inkbirds birds have worked and i will Admit this may be user error on this occasion but couldnt see what i have done wrong i'll have to wait now until i use them again and just switched the inkbird back on went through the settings what i thought i set the inkbird to for low temp to 0.0°c it was set at 2.0°c what i wanted to cold crash at so when it reached 2.0°c it was setting low temp off not manufacturing fault user/operator fualt for not paying attention dam ozdevil stuffed up the inkbird this topic should be called now 28 minutes ago, Spursman said: Hate to alarm you (excuse the pun) but it's likely your Wifi has been hacked by a fundamentalist teetotaller organisation known as The Whining Ones. yes i caught the teatottaller down the street and invited the whining ones over for a beer Edited February 23, 2022 by ozdevil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hi @ozdevil I set my temperature differential to 1.0C, so if my temp rises by 1 degree the refrigeration kicks in. ‘I don’t use my heating most months in Qld for obvious reasons. If I do it’s 1 degree also, so 1 degree either way. ‘Usually I set my refrigeration delay to 2mins. That’s the way I set it up on my old Inkbirds & the same with the new wifi ones. No worries so far with temps or Cold Crashing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries so far with temps or Cold Crashing @Red devil 44 yes i probably could set that to 1°c either side of the actually temp to allow the fridge to kick in I have never had a problem until now and as i said my last posts My dumb fault however though it only did it today and i just kegged that brew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Sometimes I notice when I change a setting it doesn't actually save it properly and I have to go back and re do it. Maybe that's what happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
